The Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance and Nuclear Watch New Mexico are preparing to sue the federal government to stop the Uranium Processing Facility nuclear bomb plant from being built in Oak Ridge, TN. If built, the UPF would produce thermonuclear cores for Hydrogen bombs at a rate of 80/year.

We are not taking this step lightly it is costly and difficult. But it is our next step.

Many of you reading this have been to Oak Ridge and have been part of the decade.long effort to stop the bomb plant, so you know how important this is.

We are counting on everyone who wants nuclear weapons abolished to join us in raising the money for the legal challenge. You can find our crowdfunding video https://youtu.be/eAT9LSIYs7M Please watch it, and please share it with everyone you can think of and ask them to share it with their friends.

Crowd funding only works if we create the crowd. So please, please, please forward this email to everyone on every list you have.

You can donate on line on orepa.org or you can send a check to OREPA, P.O. Box 5743, Oak Ridge, TN 37831 (note Legal Fund in the memo line).

This is truly a defining moment for the twelve/year effort to stop the UPF bomb plant from being built. We need every gift, large or small. So if you can't give $100, please give what you can.

Thank you!

PS. Jay Coghlan notes, correctly, that the UPF bomb plant is the tip of the spear of the trillion dollar nuclear modernization plan. I believe stopping the UPF is the single most important thing we can do at this moment.

The Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance (OREPA) and Nuclear Watch New Mexico are preparing to sue the federal government to stop the Uranium Processing Facility nuclear bomb plant from being built in Oak Ridge, TN.

What it comes down to is this: Nuclear weapons combine homicide and suicide in a single act; no one escapes. The whole of the nuclear legacy has been poisoning the biosphere from its beginning; producing broad spectrum illness, morbidity and genetic mutations. OREPA has been at the forefront of abolition efforts and in this instance resistance to expanded nuclear weapons production. The law suit they are undertaking if they can raise sufficient funding is the culmination of serious work over a very long time.

Those of us in Michigan Stop the Nuclear Bombs Campaign have supported and participated with OREPA and will help in this current effort and hope you will consider doing so.

P.S. Please consider asking organizations or religious institutions that you are members of to donate as much as they are able to. If the end of July if too soon to get approval then know that August is likely to be okay especially as some of the funding is for professional media.
